Not sure what to say?

Grateful for his life’s ministry, and his family.

Such a gentle and joy-ful man. He will be missed.

I too will always remember the Childrens Sermans & spaghetti dinners. My most fondest memory will be Rev. Nees' smile. Very warm. God be with you & your family.

It was uncanny that I just asked about The Neeses and then get this news. The memories of spaghetti dinners, cards, sharing recipes and the good old times will live as long we remember Forrest. He was the counselor of Counselors to our family. May the Spirit be with you in the coming months to be the comforter Forrest was to us and bless the family.

Rev. Nees was such a lighthouse to so many, my family included. He shone with Love and shared the Word to be a light upon the path. My deepest sympathy to the dear Nees family. The Rev. and his laughter will be sorely missed.

Forrest will always be a fountain of good memories for my family. He ministered to us during the good and difficult times, and he will be remembered for his children's sermons about the Indians at First Church in Warren. May his work be carried on through all of us who knew and loved him, and may the seeds he planted now take firm roots of faith.

We so remember all the wonderful writings that Forrest gave to the world. He will truly be missed.

Forrest and I were High School friends as well as neighbors.My
wife Marion and I extend our
sympathies to Marjorie and family
in their great loss.

Forrest and I have been colleagues in Christian ministry for many years and we have shared a passion for many causes, although not always in agreement. I am sad to hear of his passing. My sincere sympathies to his family.
